“…The discovery of a human settlement at Monte Verde in the mid-1970s provided the first evidence that people had inhabited the Americas before the spread of the so-called Clovis culture around 13,000 years ago.

Scientists were long mystified how people could have reached the southern tip of South America without leaving much evidence along the way.

But many now believe the first Americans spread down the coast where they could exploit the sea for food…The lack of archaeological evidence of this migration may be due to rising sea levels.

At the time sea levels were about 200 feet (61 meters) lower than they are today, and many of the early coastal settlements may now be underwater….” Full Slice
